After 12 years and still owning 6 Fujifilm bodies I've only just begun looking at the Q Menu. I tried on my own and got stuck. Your post helped me master it. I can't thank you enough. I've subscribed.
*WB is the only option that does not save to the custom setting.* When you adjust the +/- R and +/- B in the WB, that will be kept. For example, you use the Daylight and +2R -3B for the 1st recipe, and the 2nd recipe needs that Daylight but -3R +5B. Now the old R and B value Daylight in 1st will be overwritten. When you dial into the 1st recipe in the Q menu, it still shows the WB = Daylight, but the R and B value is the value of the 2nd recipe. * In other words, R and B are independent values and need to be re-adjusted every time you switch between recipes with a similar WB value.* Same with K value or default WB preset. I tested with XT30. I don't know about newer firmware because XT30 is no longer software-supported by Fuji.
At long last, some easy to follow and direct instructions. Thank you. I just purchased a X Pro 3 yesterday and was trying to work out how to add recipes in. You did good!
Thanks this was a huge help. I picked up an xpro 3 and found these custom settings really confusing, especially on how to save and where to save them, etc. Makes sense about leaving #1 as standard so you can always go back to shoot regular factory photos if you like. That’s especially one thing I couldn’t figure out how worked because when I changed the numbers in the settings…it kept those same numbers even if I changed filtered, which I didn’t want. So your explanation about switching to a #1 custom setting that’s factory made all the difference on the world. Thanks for that!
Good video but you forgot to mention that the white balance shift (offset) doesn’t change when you switch between recipes on older fuji fujifilm cameras. I’ve heard that newer fuji cameras such as the xt3 don’t have this issue, however i haven’t tested it myself. Since the recipes rely heavily on WB and WB shift settings, it really is a pain to have to manually adjust the wb shift every time when a different recipe is loaded. Fix this issue fuji!!
Hi... And, on older models, Xtrans II for me, what would it do when you come back to the "Base" Mode after coming from a Cfn WB modified Recipe mode ? Does it keep the last C function modified white balance here too, when back on "Base", or does it reset to the Base WB default ? Thank you for any insight...
Useful info, Scott. Double screen effect works well.👍 Good caution about clarity and C1 default tip. Some items in custom setting group can also be assigned to a quick menu slot or function button, as an override of recipe element. Can be confusing until you get used to it. Haven’t yet heard any negatives about recent firmware update- have you?
Thanks for the video. It's very self-explanatory, and you went step by step well. So there are only 7 custom setting limations today on fuji cameras? Thank you.
I wish this wasn’t so hard, on the first step when you hit the Q menu button I don’t have the same option in the top left as shown, I have shooting mode?
If I’m using two recipes that both use the same white balance preset, for instance auto and I edit the values of the first recipe to let’s says R+1 B-5. Then I create a new recipe that also uses the auto white balance preset it won’t show up as R0 B0, instead it will show R+1 B-5. It’s like the white balance setting has been changed for the whole camera rather than just for that recipe. Is there anyway to stop this from happening? Thanks.
Hi, I'm new to Fuji, bought a used x-t5 and I noticed previous own has amazing recipes/simulations saved to the camera. Is there a way to save those recipes to the computer and/or sd card? I'd like to back them up before I do a fresh camera reset and reset all settings then re-load the recipes.
Great video. Is it possible to assign recipe names in the xtrans3 processor? I have an x100f, and I can't find where I can name my custom recipe(s). Thanks!
Thank you for this explanation! One question about the Fuji supplied film simulations. There are a number I will not use, can one delete those from camera? Or, alternatively, change the order of appearance? Not used film simulations make me scroll unnecessary.
I have been using Fujifilm since I had my new xt2 but I only overshoot in raw but now I have a x100v I wanted to try some of these custom jpegs but couldn't find out how...you sir have just fixed that. Thanks
Hi, thank you for the very well explained video. I was wondering if, to use these C1-C7 functions, you had to be on Jpeg only, or if you could use the C1-C7 functions while working on Jpeg+Raw, whereas the Raw would stay untouched but the Jpeg would have the Cx function settings applied to the Jpeg. Or do these C functions only work if you are in Jpeg only, but not Jpeg+Raw ? Thank you for any insight...
Thanks for this. There are hundreds of recipes on the web, but nobody mentions how to save them. I guess once you know how, it seems too obvious to mention.
It would be VERY nice to be able to save these recipes to the camera *without* having to use a custom position. For instance, I don't use any of the monochrome settings. I'd love to replace them all with my custom settings and be able to use them, much like the native fujifilm ones, no matter what I'm shooting. We can back up the settings for the camera. Is it possible to edit a backup file to change these?
I agree with you 100%. Fuji should implement some sort of film simulation manager where you can add your custom simulations to the list of factory ones. This would allow them to be used in any mode and not waste custom modes on the dial.
Hi there, I have the Fujifilm X-T5 and I don't have the option to save different recipes as I only have the film emulations the camera bring but not any "C" extras to save my customise ones :(
Hello Mr. Dawson, Thanks for your nice and useful video. Can you please tell me how to change & save a specific shift color in the white balance parameter in a custom profile (X-T3)? I have the feeling that shift colors are not available in customs receipes and depend from the current settings. Thank you in advance. Christophe
Very clear, but on my Xpro 3 it's not working. I set my recipe but can't scroll to p3 to set. I can use DISP/Back button to save. When i come back to use what i save how do i select it? Silly question but i can't i press menu and that takes me to edit save, it does not open the recipe. Grateful for advice, my local Fuji shop in Thailand could not make it work too!
Is there way to add these recipes to the list of existing fuji filters on the camera so I can toggle more easily using the lens ring? Thanks for the content!
Can someone clarify this for me? I am confused as to whether or not this camera has 19 film simulations built in (as in always there) PLUS the option to add up to 7 more custom simulations for a total of 26.......OR....... are there just 7 slots available for custom "recipes" and there are 19 "base" simulation modes on which to build the rest of the recipe. I think it is the latter, but I can't find anywhere that explicitly says.
Hi Scott - thanks for this video and all your others, which are well presented and easy to follow. I have a couple of question s about the custom recipes and RAW files. My XT-4 is set to capture RAW and JPEGs to their own card, and when I select a custom recipe, the settings are applied to the RAW files as well as the JPEG (I have checked this by taking shots of the same subject, using a default setting in C1 as you suggest, and then opening the two RAW files in Affinity Photo, my image editor). Is this correct behaviour? Is there a setting that will allow the RAW files to be captured without the settings while applying the recipe to the JPEGs? Many thanks again.
This video is not seen enough, and I think many Fuji users would love to know it exists... Hi again, one last question... You mention you use C1 as standard shooting setting. But isn't that the Mode it's already On by Default on the Camera "Base" Mode ? Or do you do that because, when you're on "Base" Mode, you have adjusted settings for the moment, making changes in your "Base" Mode settings, and rather than changing it, you just want a full, by default settings, you could access fast at any time ? Thank you for any insight...
Thanks for the video! Very handy. Question - do the custom settings save over the Fujifilm film simulation? For example: say you have a recipe that uses Velvia as the base. Would the custom replace the Velvia settings that came with the camera?
@@ScottDawson this is not happening for me. My OG fuji simulations are staying as the customized recipes even after following this guide. I can here specifically to figure out how to avoid this and it continues to happen. When I try and reset my OG simulations back to normal, it changes the custom settings that use that specific simulation as a base 😩 I have an X100F.
@@nicolecuminti1did you solve this? I am having same problem on x100vi. I think maybe it’s because when you select a normal built in Fuji sim , and the camera is still in a custom pre set mode, then that mode over lays its sim over top of the Fuji sim.
I have a fear that in saving custom simulations, I might accidentally alter the default simulations. Is that possible? And if it is possible, will resetting the camera to factory defaults restore the default simulations back to original factory settings?
Very useful info,Scott. Just a quick question: most recipe lists ISO as auto upto certain level , for example say 1600. Since maximum ISO you can get in auto mode depends on ISO Auto Settting, how do I switch between ISO Auto Setting and most importantly remember maximum ISO of a recipe.
So as i understand this, your actually replacing the ones that are in the camera and not actualy adding up to 7 more, is that correct? As the name to the right stayed the same Across, Velvia etc.
For some reason I do not get the same drop down menu when I press menu/ok in the q menu. I am shooting w an xt1 and it’s firmwear needs to be updated as of like 2022. Not sure if that’s helpful info but it’s driving me NUTS. Thanks to anyone who can help.
amazing video scott! question, is it also applicable in x-e4? i mean does x-e4 have up to 7 customizable simulation recipe to save like the x100v? the answer to this might be the breaker whether which camera i would buy (x-e4 or s100v). Hope you could help! 😄
How do I then use this custom recipe? I set it in the "Q" menu, but nothing changes. There is no option to use custom recipes that I can find, only scrolling through the recipes that came with the camera. Thanks for the great info,
very good explanation. I notice though that even if I save recipes with the quality set to Fine Large, if I later change the quality to RAW, it stays on RAW when I change to another recipe using my custom saved setups. Bug or feature?
@@ScottDawson initially, I set up the custom settings as RAW+Fine, but then I thought, "'If I try 3 different recipes for a photo, then I'm going to have 3 JPG and 3 RAW files". Guess I'm going to have to remember to switch back and forth between Fine and RAW if I want to get a RAW image of a scene in addition to the JPGs done with recipes. Why does the name of the last used custom selection change to "Base, C1" for example, when I go back to the Q menu? What does BASE mean?
yes manythanks from THAILAND >>Q on the c7 recipe I HEARD U CAN TWEET ITS RECIPES FOR THAT PERTICULAR SHOT IS THAT WHY ON THE Q MENU U HAVE TWO RECIPE 7 ?? DONOT UNDERSTAND??
I followed your instructions exactly as you laid them out. After I saved and renamed the the C3 setting, the name saved but all the setting went back to default. I've done again and again. Same issue. What might I be doing wrong? I shoot an XT-4. Thanks!
Thank you Scott, that's a very clear and concise explanation. Just one question to confirm my understanding. If I leave the C1 Base quick menu slot at factory settings, will I be able to access all of the built in Fuji film emulations from this slot, even if I've programmed C2-C7 with recipes? I'm sure they'll be plenty of times that I want to use the built in Fuji film emulations as well as the custom recipes. Thanks in advance.
Great video but it doesnt address using Film Recipes in Video Mode... I just cant select the various recipes I have saved in my X-H1... when I am in photo mode no worries, I can hit the Q button and select with the rear command but in Video mode, all I see is my Custom settings (C2 to C7 with the word BASE written on top) and the settings are all wrong and I cant move between Custom settings (C1 to C7) with the rear command dial as I would in Photo mode... can you pls shed some light on this behaviour? many thanks!
Photo Mode settings are separate from Video. If you wanted to adjust the Video settings you need to do that while in video mode the Custom Settings don't apply to both. Thanks for watching!
@@ScottDawson Well, maybe you're not familiarised with the X-H1 (Trans III seonsor),... so I am in video mode, I press Q, and play with all the parameters, then I cannot save them because the IQ menu > Edit/Save Custom Setting is not available under VIDEO mode... so I cannot seem to be able to save any Customs for video... maybe I am dumb?
@@ScottDawsonso if I make my custom 2 for example Kodachrome 1 settings which is based on classic chrome does it keep classic chrome in the cameras in built settings and I then effectively copy and paste those settings as a base to alter in my custom setting? Does that make sense? I’ve been trying to work out how to use recipes for a while and just found you video. It’s clear and helpful in how to alter but I just wasn’t sure and didn’t want to mess up settings. I bought my camera used and bought it was default however when I went into custom settings they are named so the camera wasn’t wiped presumably?
quick question cause I am losing my mind, I have figured out everything about recipes in photo mode, how can I use them while recording a video though? Cant figure out how to use custom recipes on video. Anyone?
Unfortunately that is the downsize no one tells you about. If you change the WB and /or color shift, it affects the other film simulations too. Even the original film simulations that comes with the camera. It happens on my X100V and on my X-T4. So if you install a simulation based on the simulation Velvia and adjust the WB and color shift, it affects the original Velvia too. You than have to override your setting when you want to use the original Velvia.

Sorry couldn't tell you for sure. The photos I share are all JPG's straight out of the camera.
Thank you Scott, that's a very clear and concise explanation. Just one question to confirm my understanding. If I leave the C1 Base quick menu slot at factory settings, will I be able to access all of the built in Fuji film emulations from this slot, even if I've programmed C2-C7 with recipes? I'm sure they'll be plenty of times that I want to use the built in Fuji film emulations as well as the custom recipes. Thanks in advance.
Exactly right. Just leave C1 as factory setting and you can then switch to factory simulations easily. Thanks for watching!
@@ScottDawson Thanks Scott, I'll give it a try!
Hey i do Not have all thos Setting in my X-T 30 II
Thanks for this Video, huge help!
Thanks for watching glad to hear!
For some reason when trying to add a recipe a lot of the things I need to edit I can’t get into for some reason
I know my question sounds silly but is there anyway to mimic Fujiflim simulations for other camera brands?
There might be but you'd have to do some searching on Google. I only use Fuji cameras. Thanks for watching!
So you would still have access to the original recipes on the camera at anytime, even if you save 7 custom ones ?
Yes. Here's how to reset them - th-cam.com/video/RimRXXQM9jU/w-d-xo.html
X-T5 seems to have a different way of saving it, just with the back button.
Thanks. A video I was looking for!
Great video but it doesnt address using Film Recipes in Video Mode... I just cant select the various recipes I have saved in my X-H1... when I am in photo mode no worries, I can hit the Q button and select with the rear command but in Video mode, all I see is my Custom settings (C2 to C7 with the word BASE written on top) and the settings are all wrong and I cant move between Custom settings (C1 to C7) with the rear command dial as I would in Photo mode... can you pls shed some light on this behaviour? many thanks!
Photo Mode settings are separate from Video. If you wanted to adjust the Video settings you need to do that while in video mode the Custom Settings don't apply to both. Thanks for watching!
@@ScottDawson Well, maybe you're not familiarised with the X-H1 (Trans III seonsor),... so I am in video mode, I press Q, and play with all the parameters, then I cannot save them because the IQ menu > Edit/Save Custom Setting is not available under VIDEO mode... so I cannot seem to be able to save any Customs for video... maybe I am dumb?
@@portcorner_noise Sorry don't have any experience with that camera. I have an XT4 & X100v.
By saving new recipes does it overwrite the factory default film sims? Thanks.
Nope
@@ScottDawson thanks!
@@ScottDawsonso if I make my custom 2 for example Kodachrome 1 settings which is based on classic chrome does it keep classic chrome in the cameras in built settings and I then effectively copy and paste those settings as a base to alter in my custom setting? Does that make sense? I’ve been trying to work out how to use recipes for a while and just found you video. It’s clear and helpful in how to alter but I just wasn’t sure and didn’t want to mess up settings. I bought my camera used and bought it was default however when I went into custom settings they are named so the camera wasn’t wiped presumably?
Thank you very much for a great video!!
quick question cause I am losing my mind, I have figured out everything about recipes in photo mode, how can I use them while recording a video though? Cant figure out how to use custom recipes on video. Anyone?
My camera doesnt have the color chrome fx blue option in my menus and i cannot change the size of the grain. Is there something wrong with my camera?
Some models don't have it.
Seemingly can't be achieved with an X-E2 model. Not able to save custom white balance values; e.g., stuck with default R:0 B:0
Really helpful, thanks
hi does this work for the xa5? i’m not able to spot these settings
Sorry don't have that camera.
My menu in the X-T3 is not the same like yours as shown in the video. 😣 But thank you anyway!
can you save custom names on the x100f?
Should be able to.
Can I use these recipies for XT 200?
Yes!
@@ScottDawson thanks sir
why my whiteblance is copying the last recipe's white balance?
For some reason my white balance becomes the same on all my saved presets.. Any solution to this?
Unfortunately that is the downsize no one tells you about. If you change the WB and /or color shift, it affects the other film simulations too. Even the original film simulations that comes with the camera. It happens on my X100V and on my X-T4. So if you install a simulation based on the simulation Velvia and adjust the WB and color shift, it affects the original Velvia too. You than have to override your setting when you want to use the original Velvia.
This is what im looking for
Anyone with an x-s10 run into the issue that there are only four custom settings?
I didn't exactly what you did but my camera ,fuji xe3, doesn't save my custom film simulation. Why?
To old
@@markogrubisic no it's not, the camera has this function, it was me who didn't know how to do it🙂, now I know
